  This is exactly why I'm not very comfortable with the idea that povray 3.5
would have every little patch anyone has made, no matter how useless it is.
The more features it has, the slower the program will be (even if the feature
is not used).

  In my opinion a patch is good if:

  a) It does something useful

and:

  b) It can't be done with the current implementation, or if it can, it would
     be a lot slower than the patch (or take a lot more memory).


  This is only my opinion.
